A post on VideoGamesBlogger reports that Tiberium, not Renegade 2, is the title of the rumored new shooter set in the Command & Conquer universe. The report is based on a coming print issue of Game Informer magazine, and says the game is in the works at EALA, and is due for release late next year. There's a similar report in Czech on Hratelně.centrum.cz that includes screenshots as well as a Video from the game (though I can't get this to run, and the English blog says it's been yoinked by EA). They offer a brief write-up based on the print article outlining some of the game's units for this "squad-based action first-person-shooter game… described as Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter meets Battlefield meets Rainbow Six Vegas, but instead set in the C&C Universe."

-------------------

A Command & Conquer FPS game called “Tiberium” will be coming to PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, according to American games magazine Game Informer. The Tiberium game is the cover story of their January 2008 issue and the game is said to be set 11 years after the end of the third Tiberium war. You’ll play as Ricardo Vega, a formerly-retired GDI field commander. You can play in single player or 2-player online modes. EALA’s game is set for a late 2008 release.

The squad-based action first-person-shooter game is described as Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter meets Battlefield meets Rainbow Six Vegas, but instead set in the C&C Universe. You’ll be leading a R.A.I.D (Rapid Assault and Intercept Deployment) around the location of the tower in the Mediterranean Red Zone that NOD defended until it was built. There’s no mentioning of you fighting NOD, but you will be fighting new Scrin infantry (the two given were Shrikes, little knee-high robots with blasters an a self-destruct, and Archons, think Scrin versions of Elites from Halo).

The units that were announced that you could command were standard infantry squads, missile infantry squads, a different version of the Titan, and new Orcas. You’ll still get special powers, like an “Orbital Slug” that you can call upon to strike down your enemies. Ricardo Vega himself is armed with the GD-10, a transformative, four-in-one weapon capable of dealing punishment under any circumstance. — Thanks to AJsarge for the writeup

Looks like a Command & Conquer: Renegade 2 will be reincarnated as Tiberium, let’s hope GDI, NOD and Scrin will all be playable. We’ll update this article as soon as there’s more info and pictures.

Cool! I love the Tiberium Universe.

C&c Tiberium Dawn - Is my favorite game of all time!

 

Awesome! C&C has been great as an RTS world, but not so good as FPS. Let's hope this one is done well.

 

Renegade was so horrible. Too childish. The worst thing is that it was only a few small changes needed to make it somewhat decent.

I would far prefer an FPS set in the Red Alert-Retaliation universe. Imagine attacking a giant Soviet base, with army of Rangers, light tanks and apc's, trying to dodge Tesla Coils and flame towers....Fighting Tesla Troopers....would be so awesome.

Red Alert 95 - by far the best game in the entire C&C line. I spent countless hours playing link up with a friend on the playstation from about 14-16. Whole nights, to find that it was already 6am. So good...

 

I'd prefer a game like Battlezone 2. Somewhat RTS elements but really a FPS.
